Many children in Israel live below the poverty line with one in three children affected.

The OECD average of child poverty is 13 percent; Israel is in last place of the OECD rank. Around 750,000 children in Israel are affected by poverty, mostly among the Arab and ultra-Orthodox communities.

In general, the larger a family is the higher the probability that they will be affected by poverty. According to the Israel National Children's Council's 2014 report, almost half of all families with four children and 60 percent of families with five or more children were classified as poor.

The Festive Holiday of Purim

Israeli children look forward to Purim all year. Dressing up and making noise are important parts of the holiday.

Purim is a holiday for children. Israeli children dress up and go around giving gifts Mishloach Manot to friends, as well as going to the synagogue to hear the Megilla (the story of Esther) and later joining in the festive meal.

Help Israeli children celebrate this festive holiday and purchase a Purim Treat for Children.
